She tweets that MTV - one of a number of news places that picked up on the pictures - are... something very rude

So what do you think it is? Answers on a postcard. Or a Tweet. Seems more appropriate

One of our favourite things about Rihanna is that she never stays silent. Not for Rihanna a retreat from the paps in the South of France. Why do that when you could just get on your Twitter and post endless pictures/ talk total filth/ address rumours of you taking drugs by swearing at websites.

Thankfully she wasn't swearing at us - we were one of the first to run the story right here, so it totally could have happened and actually, that would have been kind of cool - but at MTVUK. Who she called, delightfully,'PATHETIC C*NTZ'. (NB, it was us that put the star in. Obviously)

She tweeted late last night that '@MTVUK = PATHETIC C*NTZ' (that's the last time we'll use it, we promise), which seemed to address the pictures of her mucking about with some white powder on a man's head at Coachella with the caption, "Memories don't live like people do #coachella".

The pictures in full - any more thoughts? Just a little bit of talcum powder?

The whole drama started after Rihanna posted the pictures on her Instagram. More than a 1000 people commented, trying to work out if it was actually what they thought it was.
